The Good Shepherd Cares for His Sheep

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

For any good thing I need He shall never withhold from me.

I
am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John10:11

Christ gave His life for me.No greater love has no man than this.

For "you were like sheep going
astray," but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your
souls. 1 Peter 2:25

For the Lamb at the center of the
throne will be their shepherd; 'he will lead them to springs of living water.'
'And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'" Rev. 7:17

2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:he leadeth me beside the still waters.

I will tend them in a good pasture,
and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will
lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on
the mountains of Israel. Ezekiel 34:14

3
He restoreth my soul:he leadeth me in
the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

My soul
is restored daily and magnified that I may comprehend the depth and height of
His love.He is righteous and holy; I
trust totally in His integrity and His name.

Therefore
God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every
name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,in heaven and on earth
and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,to
the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

4 Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil?For thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.

When you pass through the waters, I
will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep
over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames
will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2

Why should I fear?His perfect love sustains me. When adversity threatens to overwhelm me,
my Shepherd is there with me. When I walk through the fire, not even a scent of
smoke will be on me, but I shall come forth as pure gold.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

How
can I fear what man can do to me for the Lord is my Shepherd.I am a sheep in His pasture.His grace sustains me and He watches over me
every day of my life.

About Me

What defines me as a person--first and foremost my relationship with Christ. Then I have to say my children. I have six children, three sons and three daughters, whom I love with all my heart. I graduated college wanting to be a writer and a stay at home mom. After my divorce, I became a teacher and the writing became a once in a while thing. I have worked in education for the last 25 years. I've served as an English teacher, French teacher, counselor and librarian. Currently, I'm an adjunct English instructor at a community college. In 2008, I started writing again. Mostly I write about God in my everyday life, how to connect faith and figure out practical applications for Scripture in daily life. God's goodness gives me strength for each day. Let's encourage one another on this blog. And, by the way, I'm a Southerner, born in Georgia, and have lived in Martinez (suburb of Augusta, GA) for the last thirty years.
